Hi
I have setup chaining but it is not working at all and I am not sure how to debug it further.
I am using:
389-admin-1.1.11-0.6.rc2.el5
389-admin-console-1.1.5-1.el5
389-admin-console-doc-1.1.5-1.el5
389-adminutil-1.1.8-4.el5
389-console-1.1.4-1.el5
389-ds-1.2.1-1.el5
389-ds-base-1.2.6-0.11.rc7.el5
389-ds-console-1.2.3-1.el5
389-ds-console-doc-1.2.3-1.el5
389-dsgw-1.1.5-1.el5
The setup is 4 servers, two multimasters and two consumers. Client can only speak to the consumers and thus referrals won't work.
I have used the following ldif to setup chaining:
dn: cn=chainingBackend,cn=chaining database,cn=plugins,cn=config
changetype: add
objectClass: top
objectClass: extensibleObject
objectClass: nsBackendInstance
cn: chainingBackend
nsslapd-suffix: dc=mycompany
nsmultiplexorbinddn: cn=replication manager,cn=config
nsusestarttls: on
nsfarmserverurl: ldaps://masterfqdn1:636 masterfqdn2:636/
nsmultiplexorcredentials: {SSHA}blah
nsbindconnectionslimit: 5
nsconcurrentoperationslimit: 5
nsconnectionlife: 130
nsbindtimeout: 3
nsbindretrylimit: 3
nsmaxresponsedelay: 3
nsmaxtestresponsedelay: 5
dn: cn=dc\3dmycompany,cn=mapping tree,cn=config
changetype: modify
add: nsslapd-backend
nsslapd-backend: chainingBackend
-
replace: nsslapd-state
nsslapd-state: backend
-
replace: nsslapd-distribution-plugin
nsslapd-distribution-plugin: /usr/lib64/dirsrv/plugins/libreplication-plugin.so
-
replace: nsslapd-distribution-funct
nsslapd-distribution-funct: repl_chain_on_update
dn: cn=config,cn=chaining database,cn=plugins,cn=config
changetype: modify
add: nsTransmittedControls
nsTransmittedControls: 2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.12
The ACI has been created to allow the Replication Manager user proxy access.
When I run the following on the client:
dn: uid=john,ou=people,dc=mycompany
changetype: modify
add: mobile
mobile: 1234
The entry gets added but only locally, it thus seems to be completely ignoring the chaining I have setup. I see the following in the consumer log after creation:
[29/Sep/2010:13:00:11 +0000] start_tls - Received extended operation request with OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.20037

[29/Sep/2010:13:00:12 +0000] roles-plugin - --> roles_post_op
[29/Sep/2010:13:00:12 +0000] roles-plugin - --> roles_cache_change_notify
[29/Sep/2010:13:00:12 +0000] roles-plugin - <-- roles_cache_change_notify: not a role entry
[29/Sep/2010:13:00:12 +0000] roles-plugin - <-- roles_post_op
There is some other replay failure errors which I am not sure is related. Having done the the test twice I did not see the replay errors again in the master log. I am going to simplify my test environment as I currently have 4 servers which all are verbal about replication and I multimaster netscapedb which adds to the complications.
I have enabled Replication and Plug-ins for the error log, is there any other recommended logs that I should enable that can assist me in debugging chaining issues.
Best Regards

Due to some issues with an expired SSL cert I had to disable SSL on
our 389 directory server. It's working fine for authentication
without SSL, but I have lost all ability to manage the server via the
management console. It appears that the management console still
wants to connect to the directory server on port 636, but I see no way
to change what port it uses. Also, both Administration server and
Directory server are showing Server status: Stopped, even though I
know both are running.
Anyone have some pointers on how to disable all SSL on the management console?

Hi All,
Does 389-DS provide a tool to check the synchronization state between
replicas to check whether or not the replicas have converged?
I recall there was a tool called 'insync' that came with Sun Directory
Servers quite some time ago. Just wondering if 389-DS has something
similar. If not, what's the best way to check that?
Thanks!
